A-Mark Precious Metals Reports Preliminary Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Preliminary Full Year 2024 Results

$9.7 Billion of Revenues for Full Year 2024

Preliminary Full Year 2024 Diluted Earnings per Share of $2.75
($2.15 Excluding $14.4 Million Estimated Preliminary Remeasurement Gain)

Company Reaffirms Regular Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.20 per share

Credit Facility Amended Increasing Revolving Commitment to $422.5 Million

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Aug. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMRK), a leading fully integrated precious metals platform, reported preliminary results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended June 30, 2024. The Company has not yet concluded its review of the valuation and related purchase accounting surrounding the increase in its investment in Silver Gold Bull, Inc. (“SGB”). The results presented include an estimate, which management believes is reasonable, of the amount of any remeasurement gain associated with the SGB transaction. The remeasurement gain may be adjusted once the Company finalizes its review, but management does not expect any such adjustment to exceed $5 million. Such adjustment, if it occurs, would be reflected in the Company’s income statement and corresponding balance sheet items. The remeasurement gain is a non-cash item, relates solely to the accounting treatment for the acquisition of a controlling interest in SGB, has no impact on taxes and is not related to the Company’s operating results.

Management Commentary

“Our fiscal year 2024 results demonstrate the continued strength and adaptability of our fully-integrated platform to generate profitable results even during slower market conditions,” said CEO Greg Roberts. “Despite the less favorable macro-economic environment and the softened demand compared with last fiscal year, we delivered preliminary earnings of $2.75 per diluted share and generated $104.2 million in preliminary non-GAAP EBITDA. Excluding an estimated preliminary $14.4 million remeasurement gain resulting from our incremental investment in SGB, our diluted earnings per share was $2.15 and our estimated preliminary non-GAAP EBITDA was $89.9 million. We also ended the year with over 3 million Direct-to-Consumer customers, reflecting the benefits of our strategic investments.

“Our fourth quarter results improved from the previous quarter with a 23% increase in gross profit and diluted earnings per share of $0.60, excluding the estimated preliminary remeasurement gain, compared with $0.21 in the prior quarter.

“Reflecting on the full year, I am pleased with our numerous accomplishments. During the year, we made significant strides in our international growth strategy with our acquisition of LPM Group Limited (“LPM”) and expansion into Asia and increased investment resulting in a controlling interest in SGB, a leading online precious metals retailer in Canada. We also augmented our asset portfolio through JM Bullion’s acquisition of the gold.com domain. We also repaid our Notes Payable from our $100 million Asset Backed Securitization and amended our Trading Credit Facility resulting in increased liquidity. Finally, we continued to create additional value for our stockholders through our repurchase of $22.4 million of our common stock during the year.

“Looking ahead to fiscal 2025, we continue to evaluate opportunities to further expand our market reach to enhance stockholder value. We are currently advancing the logistics automation initiatives at our A-Mark Global Logistics (AMGL) facility in Las Vegas which will support increased volume while lowering operational costs. We are also developing plans to broaden our reach in Asia, including establishing a trading hub in Singapore. We remain optimistic that our proven business model will allow us to sustain profitability and generate value for our shareholders over the long term.”

Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Summary

Revenues decreased 19% to $2.52 billion from $3.12 billion in the same year-ago quarter. Excluding an increase of $47.0 million of forward sales, our revenues decreased $641.4 million, or 28%, which was due to a decrease in gold and silver ounces sold, partially offset by higher average selling prices of gold and silver.

The Direct-to-Consumer segment contributed 17% and 19% of the consolidated revenue in the fiscal fourth quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. JMB’s revenue represented 15% of the consolidated revenues for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024 compared with 17% for the prior year fiscal fourth quarter.

Gross profit decreased 45% to $43.0 million (1.70% of revenue) from $78.6 million (2.52% of revenue) in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease was due to lower gross profits earned from both the Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services and Direct-to-Consumer segments. The Direct-to-Consumer segment contributed 51% and 60% of the consolidated gross profit in the fiscal fourth quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Gross profit contributed by JMB represented 42% of the consolidated gross profit in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024 and 49% of the consolidated gross profit for the prior year fiscal fourth quarter.

Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased 1% to $22.7 million from $22.8 million in the same year-ago quarter. The overall decrease was primarily due to a decrease in compensation expense (including performance-based accruals) of $1.1 million, a decrease in advertising costs of $0.3 million, partially offset by an increase in insurance costs of $0.6 million, an increase in consulting and professional fees of $0.5 million, and an increase in information technology costs of $0.2 million. SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 include $1.8 million of expenses incurred by LPM and SGB.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 4% to $2.8 million from $2.7 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to $0.4 million of amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired through our acquisitions of LPM and a controlling interest in SGB, a $0.2 million increase in depreciation expense related to our property, plant, and equipment, partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in JMB’s intangible asset amortization expense.

Interest income increased 33% to $8.1 million from $6.1 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in interest income was primarily due to an increase in other finance product income of $1.6 million and an increase in interest income earned by our Secured Lending segment of $0.4 million.

Interest expense increased 8% to $9.6 million from $8.9 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by an increase of $1.5 million associated with our Trading Credit Facility due to an increase in interest rates as well as increased borrowings, an increase of $0.6 million related to product financing arrangements, partially offset by a decrease of $1.4 million related to the AMCF Notes (including amortization of debt issuance costs) due to their repayment in December 2023.

Earnings from equity method investments decreased 86% to $0.8 million from $5.3 million in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease was due to decreased earnings of our equity method investees.

Net income attributable to the Company totaled $28.6 million or $1.20 per diluted share, compared to net income of $41.8 million or $1.71 per diluted share in the same year-ago quarter. Net income attributable to the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2024 included an estimated $14.4 million remeasurement gain in connection with the acquisition of a controlling interest in SGB, which is preliminary and subject to change. Excluding the impact of the estimated preliminary remeasurement gain, diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.60.

Adjusted net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $20.1 million, a 66% decrease compared to $59.1 million in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease was principally due to lower net income before provision for income taxes.

EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $36.1 million, a 42% decrease compared to $61.8 million in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease was principally due to lower net income of $13.3 million, lower income tax expense of $11.3 million, and higher interest income of $2.0 million. Excluding the impact of the estimated preliminary remeasurement gain, preliminary EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $21.7 million.

Fiscal Full Year 2024 Financial Summary

Revenues increased 4% to $9.70 billion from $9.29 billion in the prior fiscal year. Excluding an increase of $1.6 billion of forward sales, our revenues decreased $1.1 billion, or 17%, which was due to a decrease in gold and silver ounces sold, partially offset by higher average selling prices of gold and silver.

The Direct-to-Consumer segment contributed 15% and 22% of the consolidated revenue in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. JMB's revenue represented 14% and 19% of the Company's consolidated revenue for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Gross profit decreased 41% to $173.3 million (1.79% of revenue) in fiscal year 2024 from $294.7 million (3.17% of revenue) in the prior year. The decrease was due to lower gross profits earned from both the Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services and Direct-to-Consumer segments. The Direct-to-Consumer segment contributed 48% and 57% of the consolidated gross profit in fiscal year 2024 and 2023, respectively. Gross profit contributed by JMB represented 41% and 49% of the consolidated gross profit during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 5% to $89.8 million from $85.3 million in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in consulting and professional fees of $5.3 million, an increase in information technology costs of $1.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in insurance costs of $0.9 million, a decrease in compensation expense (including performance-based accruals) of $0.7 million, and a decrease in advertising costs of $0.7 million. Fiscal year 2024 SG&A expenses include $2.3 million of expenses incurred by LPM and SGB.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 9% to $11.4 million from $12.5 million in fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.2 million decrease in JMB’s intangible asset amortization expense, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in depreciation expense related to our property, plant and equipment, and $0.5 million of amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired through our acquisition of LPM and a controlling interest in SGB.

Interest income increased 22% to $27.2 million from $22.2 million in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in other finance product income of $3.2 million and an increase in interest income earned by our Secured Lending segment of $1.7 million.

Interest expense increased 25% to $39.5 million from $31.5 million in fiscal year 2023. The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by an increase of $8.4 million associated with our Trading Credit Facility due to an increase in interest rates as well as increased borrowings, an increase of $3.0 million related to product financing arrangements, partially offset by a decrease of $3.2 million related to the AMCF Notes (including amortization of debt issuance costs) due to their repayment in December 2023, and a $0.5 million decrease in loan servicing fees.

Earnings from equity method investments decreased 68% to $4.0 million from $12.6 million in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was due to decreased earnings of our equity method investees.

Net income attributable to the Company totaled $66.2 million or $2.75 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to the Company of $156.4 million or $6.34 per diluted share in the prior fiscal year. Net income attributable to the Company for fiscal year 2024 included an estimated $14.4 million remeasurement gain in connection with the acquisition of a controlling interest in SGB, which is preliminary and subject to change. Excluding the impact of the estimated preliminary remeasurement gain, diluted earnings per share for fiscal year 2024 was $2.15.

Adjusted net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 totaled $80.3 million, a decrease of 63% compared to $216.0 million in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was principally due to lower net income before provision for income taxes.

EBITDA for fiscal year 2024 totaled $104.2 million, a decrease of $120.8 million or 54% compared to $225.0 million in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was principally due to lower net income of $90.0 million, lower income tax expense of $32.7 million, higher interest expense of $8.0 million, and higher interest income of $4.9 million. Excluding the impact of the estimated preliminary remeasurement gain, preliminary EBITDA for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 was $89.9 million.

About A-Mark Precious Metals
Founded in 1965, A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. is a leading fully integrated precious metals platform that offers an array of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and copper bullion, numismatic coins, and related products to wholesale and retail customers via a portfolio of channels. The company conducts its operations through three complementary segments: Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services, Direct-to-Consumer, and Secured Lending. The company’s global customer base spans sovereign and private mints, manufacturers and fabricators, refiners, dealers, financial institutions, industrial users, investors, collectors, e-commerce customers, and other retail customers.

A-Mark’s Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services segment distributes and purchases precious metal products from sovereign and private mints. As a U.S. Mint-authorized purchaser of gold, silver, and platinum coins since 1986, A-Mark purchases bullion products directly from the U.S. Mint for sale to customers. A-Mark also has longstanding distributorships with other sovereign mints, including Australia, Austria, Canada, China, Mexico, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. The company sells more than 200 different products to e-commerce retailers, coin and bullion dealers, financial institutions, brokerages, and collectors. In addition, A-Mark sells precious metal products to industrial users, including metal refiners, manufacturers, and electronic fabricators.

Located in the heart of Hong Kong’s Central Financial District, A-Mark’s consolidated subsidiary, LPM Group Limited (LPM), is one of Asia’s largest precious metals dealers. LPM offers a wide selection of products to its wholesale customers, through its showroom and 24/7 online trading platform, including recently released silver coins, gold bullion, certified coins, and the latest collectible numismatic issues.

Through its A-M Global Logistics subsidiary, A-Mark provides its customers with a range of complementary services, including managed storage options for precious metals as well as receiving, handling, inventorying, processing, packaging, and shipping of precious metals and coins on a secure basis. A-Mark’s mint operations, which are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary Silver Towne Mint, enable the company to offer customers a wide range of proprietary coin and bar offerings and, during periods of market volatility when the availability of silver bullion from sovereign mints is often product constrained, preferred product access.

A-Mark’s Direct-to-Consumer segment operates as an omni-channel retailer of precious metals, providing access to a multitude of products through its wholly owned subsidiaries, JM Bullion and Goldline. JMB owns and operates numerous websites targeting specific niches within the precious metals retail market, including JMBullion.com, ProvidentMetals.com, Silver.com, CyberMetals.com, GoldPrice.org, SilverPrice.org, BGASC.com, BullionMax.com, and Gold.com. Goldline markets precious metals directly to the investor community through various channels, including television, radio, and telephonic sales efforts. A-Mark is the majority owner of Silver Gold Bull, a leading online precious metals retailer in Canada, and also holds minority ownership interests in three additional direct-to-consumer brands.

The company operates its Secured Lending segment through its wholly owned subsidiary, Collateral Finance Corporation (CFC). Founded in 2005, CFC is a California licensed finance lender that originates and acquires loans secured by bullion and numismatic coins. Its customers include coin and precious metal dealers, investors, and collectors.

A-Mark is headquartered in El Segundo, CA and has additional offices and facilities in the neighboring Los Angeles area as well as in Dallas, TX, Las Vegas, NV, Winchester, IN, Vienna, Austria, and Hong Kong. For more information, visit www.amark.com.

A-Mark periodically provides information for investors on its corporate website, www.amark.com, and its investor relations website, ir.amark.com. This includes press releases and other information about financial performance, reports filed or furnished with the SEC, information on corporate governance, and investor presentations.

Important Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this press release that relate to future plans, objectives, expectations, performance, events and the like are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These include statements regarding expectations with respect to future profitability and growth, international expansion, operational enhancements, and the amount or timing of any future dividends. Future events, risks and uncertainties, individually or in the aggregate, could cause actual results or circumstances to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include the following: the failure to execute the Company’s growth strategy, including the inability to identify suitable or available acquisition or investment opportunities; greater than anticipated costs incurred to execute this strategy; government regulations that might impede growth, particularly in Asia; the inability to successfully integrate recently acquired businesses; changes in the current international political climate, which historically has favorably contributed to demand and volatility in the precious metals markets but also has posed certain risks and uncertainties for the Company, particularly in recent periods; potential adverse effects of the current problems in the national and global supply chains; increased competition for the Company’s higher margin services, which could depress pricing; the failure of the Company’s business model to respond to changes in the market environment as anticipated; changes in consumer demand and preferences for precious metal products generally; potential negative effects that inflationary pressure may have on our business; the inability of the Company to expand capacity at Silver Towne Mint; the failure of our investee companies to maintain, or address the preferences of, their customer bases; general risks of doing business in the commodity markets; and the strategic, business, economic, financial, political and governmental risks and other Risk Factors described in in the Company’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to presenting the Company’s financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management believes the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance: “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes” and “earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization” (“EBITDA”). Management believes the “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes” non-GAAP financial performance measure assists investors and analysts by facilitating comparison of period-to-period operational performance on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of the Company’s core operating performance. The items excluded from this financial measure may have a material impact on the Company’s financial results. Certain of those items are non-recurring, while others are non-cash in nature. Management believes the EBITDA non-GAAP liquidity measure assists investors and analysts by facilitating comparison of our business operations before investing activities, interest, and income taxes with other publicly traded companies. Non-GAAP measures do not have standardized definitions and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the comparable measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC. Management encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not to rely on any single financial or liquidity measure.

In the Company’s reconciliation from its reported U.S. GAAP “net income before provision for income taxes” to its non-GAAP “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes”, the Company eliminates the impact of the following five amounts: acquisition expenses; amortization expenses related to intangible assets acquired; depreciation expense; remeasurement gains or losses; and contingent consideration fair value adjustments. The Company’s reconciliations from its reported U.S. GAAP “net income before provision for income taxes” to its non-GAAP “adjusted net income before provision for income taxes”, and “net income” and “net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” to its non-GAAP “EBITDA” are provided below and are also included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
